5.4.1 Setting the shielding gas quantity Welding process Recommended shielding gas quantity
MAG welding Wire diameter x 11.5 = l/min
MIG brazing Wire diameter x 11.5 = l/min
MIG welding (aluminium) Wire diameter x 13.5 = l/min (100 % argon)
TIG Gas nozzle diameter in mm corresponds to l/min gas throughput
Helium-rich gas mixtures require a higher gas volume!
The table below can be used to correct the gas volume calculated where necessary:
Shielding gas Factor
75% Ar/25% He 1.14
50% Ar/50% He 1.35
25% Ar/75% He 1.75
100% He 3.16
NOTE
Incorrect shielding gas setting!
If the shielding gas setting is too low or too high, this can introduce air to the weld pool
and may cause pores to form.
• Adjust the shielding gas quantity to suit the welding task!

5.5 Definition of MIG/MAG welding tasks
NOTE
Please note the relevant documentation of the accessory components.
This range of machines feature simple operation with a very wide range of functions.
• Various JOBs (i.e. welding tasks consisting of welding process, material type, wire diameter and
shielding gas type) have been pre-defined JOB-List.
• Simple JOB selection from a list of pre-defined JOBs (sticker on the machine).
• The required process parameters are calculated by the system depending on the operating point
specified (single-dial operation via wire speed rotary dial).
• Additional parameters can be modified as required in the configuration menu on the control or using
the PC300.NET welding parameter software.

In superPuls mode, the program toggles from main program (PA) to reduced main program (PB). This
function is used e.g. in thin sheet welding to accurately reduce the heat input or weld vertical-up welds
without weaving. superPuls in combination with EWM welding processes offers many possibilities.
Welding performance can be represented as average value (ex works) or solely as program A value. If
the average value display is activated the signal lights of the main (PA) and reduced main program (PB)
are illuminated simultaneously. The display variants can be changed using special parameter P19, see

5.6 MIG/MAG operating point The operating point (welding output) is specified using the principle of MIG/MAG one-dial operation, i.e.
the user need only specify the operating point by setting the required wire speed, for example, and the
digital system will calculate the optimum values for welding current and voltage (operating point).
The operating point setting can also be specified using the accessory components such as the remote
control, welding torch, etc.
5.6.1 Selecting the display unit

• Gas = Ar 100%,
• Wire diameter = 1.2 mm
The correct wire speed is not known and is to be determined.
• Select the appropriate JOB (see "JOB list" sticker)
• Switch to the material thickness display
• Set the material thickness as appropriate (e.g. 5 mm)
• Switch to the wire speed display
The resulting wire speed will be shown (e.g. 8.4 m/min).

5.6.2.2 Accessory components for operating point setting
The operating point can also be set with various accessory components such as
• remote controls
• special torches
• PC software
• robot and industrial bus interfaces (optional mechanised welding interface required – not possible for
all machines in this series!)
You will find an overview of accessory components in the "Accessories" chapter. See the operating
instructions for the machine in question for a more detailed description of the individual machines and
their functions.
5.7 MIG/MAG welding data display To the left and right of the control displays are the "Parameter selection" buttons ( ). They are used to
select welding parameters to be displayed.
Each press of the button advances the display to the next parameter (LEDs next to the button indicate the
selection). After the last parameter is reached, the system starts again from the beginning.

As with pulse arc welding, it is important to make sure of a good welding current connection.
• Keep welding current cables as short as possible and ensure that cable cross-sections are adequate!
• Fully unroll welding current cables, torche hose packages and, if applicable, intermediate hose
packages. Avoid loops!
• Use welding torches, preferably water-cooled, that are suitable for the higher power range.
• Use welding wire with adequate copper coating when welding steel. The wire spool should have layer
spooling.
NOTE

5.12.2 MIG/MAG program sequence ("Program steps" mode) Certain materials, such as aluminium, require special functions in order to be able to weld them safely
and at high quality. The latched special operating mode is used here with the following programs:
• Start program PSTART (reduction of cool points at the start of the seam)
• Main program PA (continuous welding)
• Reduced main program PB (targeted heat reduction)
• End program PEND) (minimisation of end craters via targeted heat reduction)
The programs include the parameters wire speed (operating point), arc length correction, slope times,
program duration, etc.
Figure 5-14
In every JOB, separate settings can be made for the ignition program, reduced main program and end
program as to whether or not to alternate with the pulse process.
These properties are stored on the welding machine with the JOB. This means that in the factory settings,
the pulse process is active during the end program in all forceArc JOBs.

This function can only be enabled with the PC300.NET software.
